Film Openings - Once (Titles) // Research

A few simple titles are shown in this film opening. The information shown is the names of the actors/actresses of the two main characters and then the title of the film which is 'Once'. The typography of the writing is simple and the colour is white. This particularly stands out at the start in front of a black background. The actors/actresses names appear by fading in then fading out. The 'Once' title comes in by each letter of the word coming from a different side of the shot (top, bottom, left and right) and then the whole word coming together to spell 'Once.' The font of the word once is slightly different to the font used before. This is probably done to make it stand out more to the viewers. When this is happening the main is in the background busking. There is the diegetic sound of the man busking when these titles appear.

The 'once' title.
